Episode 214: Letting Go

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Stop this week, and be intentional about what is still consuming your thoughts, energy and time, that you should let go of. Too often, we are stuck in the past, consumed with other people’s lives, or just gripping too hard. This week, together, let’s slowly begin to release our grip on whatever has a strong hold on us. We all have something. Get deliberate about living in the present, walking your own path, and letting go of what isn’t yours to control anymore. Letting go is telling God that you really do trust Him.

Episode 211: What are you leaving in 2025?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

What are you going to let go of, and leave in 2025? Think about these 5 questions.

What are you letting distract you?
What is draining your energy?
How and where are you spending your time?
What choice do you know you want to improve?
What have you been prioritizing?

Creating space helps open up room and possibility for the new year.

Being able to find time, slow down, pause, and back off helps create clarity, energy, focus, and more.

Take a day, afternoon, or a few hours to think about these questions and decide what you are going to leave behind. What can you let go of, so that you create space for goodness in 2026. Quiet, gratitude, steps, workout, Bible, friendship, marriage, connection

To help you do this intentionally, the Daily Surrender Journal is designed to guide you through daily reflection, release, and reset. You can learn more or purchase the journal to walk this process out one day at a time.

Episode 206: More of Him, Less of Me

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

Most of our relationship struggles come from our selfishness. If selfishness can hurt relationships, then selflessness can help them grow. When we turn our focus onto others and pour into them, a relationship can grow in big ways, and they possibly change too. Gratitude for who they are. Appreciation for having them in your life. Gratitude over expectations will bring a deeper connection to your relationship.

He must increase, I must decrease. John 3:30

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400

If something doesn’t align with your values and what matters most to you, it is not for you. Choose to boldly say no to things in this world that are not bringing goodness to your life. Choose to create boundaries with worldly distractions. Choose to go live the life that God made you for, and stop feeling pressured by this world and other people’s opinions.

Episode 202: Beat One Distraction this Week

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400

I honestly believe that these days it is too obvious that the enemy just wants to keep us busy with all the wrong things. There are too many easy distractions, worldly pressures and temptations, holding us back from all the good things we want in life. We are so distracted, we don’t even realize that we are the one that can make the change. This week, pay attention, and become aware of what is holding you back, and I want you to get intentional about beating that distraction. Do not let the enemy win this week.

Postpartum is experienced by more moms than you realize. From mild, to intense. Either way, let’s support moms, encourage moms, and give a whole bunch of grace. And moms, keep taking that best next step to take care of yourself through this. Get help. Give yourself grace. Go for a walk. Get some sunshine. And know that this will pass, and this is so common among moms.

Kelley Ranaudo — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0400

There are so many choices at home that affect your health. It all starts with you. Choose to own the health in your home. Good health is not just exercise, and eating well. It is the environment and atmosphere of our home. It is how our family feels when they are there. It should be a place to feel safe, and find peace, and rest from the crazy pace of the world.

Episode 194: Bring Health and Wellness to Your Office

Kelley Ranaudo — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Your health is a combination of your choices, your home, and what you do at your office. You can’t go to the gym, eat well, and create a terrible culture with your team. It all goes together.

Kelley Ranaudo — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0400

This world will keep you from all of your dreams if you let it. This week I want you to have the courage to say no, create the boundary, choose something hard and unpopular, and go do it. Choose your family first, live by your values, rest when needed, and have the courage to walk your own unique path.

Episode 192: Hope Comes from Struggle

Kelley Ranaudo — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 12:00:00 -0400

Episode 125: Break the Cycle

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0500

When we get in the vicious cycle of letting unhealthy thoughts and feelings control our lives and our choices, we have to break the cycle and choose differently. This is possible. Let us choose this week to be bold and believe in ourselves and know that we are capable of anything.

Challenge: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings this week and break the cycle if needed.

Quote: "Recall that thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, and actions lead to results. Everything begins with your thoughts—which are produced by your mind." -T. Harv Eker

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Let us get honest with ourselves and decide if we are truly feeling joy and happiness, and if it is easy, or hard, to be kind. If we are struggling, let us do the hard things and work on ourselves so that we can truly feel joy, love, and kindness.

Episode 105: Who do you want to be today?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

You get to choose who you are every morning. Do you look for whats good in your day today, or are you going to find all that is wrong and complain? This is a choice that we should remind ourselves every single day before we start the day. When we are intentional, we can choose to be the person that looks for the good and shares it.

Episode 104: You Matter

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

We don’t always have someone that reminds us of this. I want to remind you, and let you know that you matter always, no matter what, to God.

Episode 29: What Can We Control Right Now?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

We have to accept our current situation, and accept what is in our control right now. We have to choose to protect your energy, take care of ourselves, lower our expectations, get closer to God, and be kind to each other. This can be a stressful time if you choose to let it take over. Choose to find the good, create a calmer environment, and help your tribe get through this. This will pass. Let us be better on the other side.

Honestly, I believe we have to take this time and get closer to God, closer to each other and slow down. Choose to use this time for good. It is possible.

Episode 28: Homeschooling Tips

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

I must say that choosing to homeschool your kids, and working remotely, is very different than what is going on now. So, yes, I know it is different, but I still am hoping that some things I have learned over the years might help.

I am not claiming to be an expert, and you also don’t have to agree with my beliefs for any of these tips to help you. I have been walking a different path for awhile, and I love it….but it’s not for everyone. But for now, we are all in this together, and I am praying and rooting for you to come out of this better than you can even imagine.

Honestly, I believe the most important part of all of this, is how we grow as people, parents, families, and christians.
